Scheduling An Appointment

The first step for scheduling an appointment is to choose the “Schedule An Appointment” button. Or, you can click here!

If you have an account, you’ll need to enter your email address and password. Remember that this is a different log-in than your NetID! If this is your first time visiting our site, you’ll need to register for an account.

Use the dropdown at the top of the schedule to choose your location.

Any white space is an open time (blue = taken, gray = too late, orange = your appointment)

When you click on a white box, you can read the consultant’s bio to find out more about them. Consultants often highlight their favorite genres of writing to consult on, so you can choose a consultant whose background matches the work you’re completing. Once you’ve double-checked your appointment time and inputted the course number, instructor’s name, and a short description of what you’d like to work on, hit the “Save Appointment” button and you’re ready for your appointment.

If you’re scheduling an online appointment, you’ll also need to input your email address so our receptionist knows where to send your Google Doc.
